The ultimate lake experience
The best way to see lake Rotoiti and Rotorua in general, Rotoiti has sooooo much to offer and having your own jetty feels like something out of James Bond. The hosts are super lovely and helpful, the bach is really well set up and very cosy. Just had the best long weekend away. If you’ve got a boat this place is a must go to!

A relaxing get away
This is the second time we have stayed at this bach and we would probably go again. It is very comfortable, clean with everything you might need. In fact a home from home. We especially appreciated the freshly made up bed and towels set out when we arrived. Nothing to do except relax!

Great place to relax
The place was very relaxing and clean. It's an old house but quite renovated. I wish I could give 5 stars, but I have been in better places with the lower prices and it's not fair for them if I give 5 stars to this place.

4 Nights at Okere Falls
The interior has had a very nice upgrade & was very pleasant indeed. However, the owners obviously hadn’t had time to do any exterior cleaning - there were cobwebs everywhere around the deck area & the nova roof needs a good clean. Very comfortable place to stay.

Comfortable wee bach for four
This is a very clean and comfortable bach in the top story of a small two storey home, with a great deck and view to the water. We found it very handy for our holiday activities in Rotorua. It is probably best suited to summer rather than winter holidays, and we were glad we took firewood with us. All in all very reasonably priced and suitable for our stay. Many thanks.
